At one school we had a yearlong competition. Homecoming week was just one part of it. So each class made a scarecrow in the fall, a holiday tree, a spirit banner, canned drive collection and design build, pep rallies, etc. At the end of the year, whichever class had the most points won a day out of school at a nearby park.

Those are great ideas. Thank you. I’ll take as many ideas as I can get

At our HS each grade 9 to 12 was assigned a hallway in the school. The kids had to select a theme and decorate. Best hallway won! Kids enjoyed

We have dress up days, athletic and silly competitions about once a month. We also had a door decorating day with a theme.

How do you award points and things

Are there any government teachers who are dealing with student/parent complaints about what you are saying about the election? I've always encouraged open discussion but if they don't agree with something I've said they go right home and tattle. I've been teaching twenty years and this is the WORST ELECTION EVER!

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
